Shenghui calendar year 1044, the month of green grass.
At the port of Rapid City, demon hunting wizards were fully armed and headed to the Demon Realm to eliminate demons in the witchcraft airship.
A witchcraft airship from the inner ring descended slowly and landed at the port.
From it, a wizard wearing black leather armor and carrying a dark sword came down.
"Rapid City, it's been a long time since I've been here."
This wizard looks middle-aged, with an ordinary face that is hard to remember. He is the kind of person with the least presence that people will automatically ignore if he stands in a crowd.
"The target this time is a second-level wizard. Judging from the intelligence, it seems that he is also from the human world, and he is only fifty-four years old. He has entered the second level at such a young age. He must be something special."
The middle-aged wizard murmured in his heart.
Of course, what he looked forward to the most was that the target of this operation was a legendary knight who was traveling with him.
"Knight, what an ancient memory." The middle-aged wizard sighed.
He is the Nameless Man with Thousand Faces, Lao Mo’s teacher, and Lao Mo’s leader in the world.
The founder of the Death Bird Voice, the most mysterious Knight with a Thousand Faces among the seven legendary knights, is nameless.
The drink in the Shining Tavern is "Unnamed Rum".
He should be the longest-living legendary knight among the seven knights. Even Blood Knight Brad is not as good as him.
It's not that the Thousand Faces Knight's cultivation level is high, but that he is half an immortal species.
A hybrid born from the union of dark elves and humans.
The dark elves.
This is an elven race that has lived underground in the plane of Pandora for a long time. The long-term shadow life makes the dark elves good at sneaking and hunting.
They are born shadow assassins, and the Knight of Many Faces is the only descendant of the dark elf bloodline who has survived in the entire world since the last time the planes met.
His father is a dark elf, and his mother is a human knight.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for the elves to have offspring with humans. It can be said that it is extremely rare to have offspring like the Knight with a Thousand Faces.
No matter what, he perfectly inherited the advantages of both parents and became a legendary knight.
Later, he founded the Sound of Death Bird, earned money from the great nobles in the world, and made a difference in the secular world.
He came into contact with many legendary knights in the world, fought against them, and sparred with them, and finally won without a doubt.
But for the Knight with a Thousand Faces, who has a long lifespan, these do not bring him any sense of accomplishment.
He came to the wizarding world and relied on his dark elf talent to become a wizard of the Shadow School. Also coming here with him was Lao Mo.
He formed a small assassination organization and struggled to survive in the wizarding world by taking on assassination missions.
Lao Mo was once a member of his organization, but unfortunately, he died in an assassination mission a few years ago.
Originally, the Knight with a Thousand Faces also wanted to stop.
When I came to the wizarding world, I realized that everyone here was talented.
My own strength is fine in the outer ring area, but in the inner ring area where I am currently hanging out, it can only be said to be adequate.
Carrying out an assassination mission here involves taking great risks. If you are not careful, you will capsize like Lao Mo.
However, this customer paid too much money.
Inside the city.
Inside the mansion in Shangcheng District.
The Knight with a Thousand Faces met his client.
Healing Hand Rex.
"Please take a seat." Rex smiled. "I don't know what to call you?"
"Just call me Thousand Faces." The Thousand Faces Knight said calmly.
"How confident are you, Lord Qianmian, about this operation?" Rex asked.
"Seventy percent." The Thousand Faces Knight said bluntly.
"So low?" Rex frowned slightly.
"If I said I was 100% sure? Would you believe it?" The Thousand-Faced Knight asked.
"I don't believe it." Rex choked, thinking that the Knight with a Thousand Faces was really weird.
"That's it, no one can guarantee that the assassination will be 100% successful, especially in this rapid city.
I will do my best, and as long as the opponent shows a slight chance, I will try my best to kill him. "The Thousand Faces Knight said.
After signing the agreement with Rex, the Thousand Faced Knight put away the generous deposit given by Rex and left the place expressionlessly.
After the Knight of Thousand Faces left, Rex snorted coldly: "How can a stinky killer from this world deal with me?"
For wizards like Rex who were born in the wizarding world, looking at those wizards who enter the wizarding world is like some people looking at those small-town problem solvers.
Such a person may have some ability and perseverance. When he was in the world, he was the pride of heaven and the strongest person respected by thousands of people.
But in this wizarding world that requires resources and background, he is just a stinky fish seller!
"Sir...this is his character." The subordinate next to him said helplessly. "However, the Knight of Thousand Faces is relatively reliable in his work. He will not take on tasks that are beyond his capabilities or tasks that he feels unsure of. As long as he takes them, he will basically be 100% successful."
"I hope so. After spending so much effort and taking so much money, if he can't handle such a small thing, I don't think he needs to continue to be a killer." Rex sneered.
…
No. 81, Zhongcheng District.
This is a mansion close to Li Wei's mansion.
On this day, a new tenant moved in at No. 81.
The middle-aged tenant looked at the wizard's tower next door, which was always closed.
"Next, we will be neighbors." The Thousand Faces Knight murmured to himself.
Naturally, he didn't dare to do anything casually here, after all, it was too close to the Apothecary Tower.
In the Apothecary Tower, there is a fifth-ring strongman and two fourth-ring strongmen.
So he stayed for the time being, planning to get acquainted with Li Wei first, find an opportunity to lure Li Wei out of the city, kill him, and then take the commission and fly away, leaving Rapids City.
Compared with patience, the Thousand Faces Knight believes that there are few people in Rapid City who can compare with him.
After all, he has a relatively long life as capital, but those short-lived low-level wizards have to race against time.
And next door.
Inside Levi's mansion.
Levi, who was practicing, opened his eyes.
He looked at the hairs standing on his arms.
"Damn it, who wants to harm me? There is no end."
During this time, he felt that there was a vague hostility staring at him.
Now, this hostility seems to be becoming more and more obvious.
According to Levi's previous experience, this situation generally means that the person who is hostile to him is very close to him.
Thinking of this, Levi opened the window and scanned the situation around his mansion.
At the same time, he entered a synaesthesia state on a small scale.
Try your best to see if there are any suspicious figures sneaking around without provoking the big guys in the city.
Finally, Levi turned his attention to No. 81 next door.
Because the distance is very close, Levi can basically be sure that this hostility comes from here.
"Who lives in No. 81?" Levi was alert.
It is really bad luck for eight lifetimes.
I am a hard-working medicine seller who neither steals nor robs, and works conscientiously for my boss. However, the damn mastermind behind the scenes, instead of messing with my boss, comes to mess with me.
He was really angry.
You can bully workers casually, right?
Are workers not human beings? There are no human rights, right?
Levi calmed down, luckily he had spider sense.
Otherwise, he might not even know that such a hostile and powerful enemy was hiding next door to him.
"Don't worry. Since the other party didn't take action, it means that he didn't dare to take action in the city, or in other words, he didn't dare to take action near the Apothecary Tower. It seems that I was right to rent the house here." Levi analyzed in his mind.
Because there is also a magic circle next door that isolates breath and perception, Li Wei cannot judge the opponent's strength.
We can only deduce based on the spider sense that the opponent is at least a second-level veteran, maybe even a third-level expert...
In the days that followed, Levi lived a normal life, seemingly not noticing that someone was trying to harm him.
When leaving home once, Levi also discovered a middle-aged wizard on the second floor of the wizard tower next door who was watering the herbs planted on the balcony.
As if sensing Levi's gaze, the middle-aged wizard smiled kindly.
Levi also responded with a sunny smile, and then came to the Apothecary Tower.
Looking at Levi's back slowly leaving, the Knight of Thousand Faces chuckled inwardly.
"The kind and diligent Lord Li Wei doesn't know that there is a ferocious beast living next door to him, but judging from his performance, he does have the foundation of a knight. This point is correct in the intelligence." The Thousand Faced Knight said in his heart Analyzing calmly.
From the intelligence point of view.
Levi, except for a little limelight when he first entered the wizarding world because of the legendary knight, was mostly unknown at other times.
After coming to Rapid City to serve, he spent all day at home making medicine and earning meager merit points.
Levi is indeed a very hardworking person.
Even if the Knight of Thousand Faces is Li Wei's enemy, he has to admit that Mr. Li Wei has worked too hard!
There is no shortage of hard-working people in the wizarding world, but those who can reach Levi's level are rare.
Basically there are zero social activities and entertainment activities, not even a partner!
Such people are just like alchemical creatures. Aren't they tired of living?
"It's a pity. If he wasn't an enemy, I would still be very interested in getting to know such a person."
The Knight with a Thousand Faces muttered to himself, leisurely cleaning his house and watering the flowers, looking like a middle-aged man full of interest in life.
…
Apothecary's Tower.
After Levi handed over the task, Huffman looked at Levi and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Lord Huffman, you can't take action in Rapid City, right?" Levi asked.
"What's wrong?" Huffman raised his head, his face solemn.
"It's nothing, I just feel like someone is following me recently, as if someone wants to harm me." Levi said jokingly.
He is now also the "number one employee" under Huffman. Huffman treats him very well, so now Levi often chats with Huffman.
He would also ask some questions directly.
From the current point of view, Huffman has no bad intentions except for being greedy for money. The problem is greed for money. Who is not greedy?
In comparison, Levi is more greedy, but he just doesn't have the ability.
Since Huffman is relatively reliable and has such a backer, Levi would be a fool not to use it.
So he changed his story, hoping to let Huffman know about his situation and see if Huffman could give him any solution.
"Who is following you?" Huffman asked with a cold expression.
"I don't know yet, I'm not sure if they are following me, I just feel a little uneasy," Levi said.
"It must be that Rex guy," Huffman said sharply.
"Lord Rex? Why did he do this?" Levi asked knowingly.
"Because he did the same to me." Huffman recalled the past, but his short body exuded a fierce aura, like a little devil in the abyss.
Huffman talks about the past.
After listening to this, Levi couldn't help but feel deep sympathy for Huffman's experience.
Because Huffman at that time was basically the same as himself today.
Once people like them with no background slightly touch the interests of people like Rex, they will encounter his calculations and revenge.
It's just that Huffman survived successfully. He also worked hard like Levi and eventually became a three-ring pharmacist and achieved his current status.
"Do you want me to talk to the tower owner about this?" Huffman asked.
"Forget it, don't alarm the tower master about this kind of thing, and I have no evidence. It's just pure guessing. The truth may not be what we imagined. Thank you Lord Halfman for your kindness." Levi said.
Huffman nodded: "Indeed."
Then Huffman hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a scroll from the storage bag.
"This is a three-ring spell scroll. It is very precious. I made it originally to give it to my future son. But considering that I don't have a wife yet, I will give it to you first. You have worked diligently for so many years. It’s worth this three-ring wizard scroll,” Huffman said.
Li Wei was overjoyed and looked grateful.
"Thank you, Master Huffman! I will work harder to make medicine!"
He took the scroll respectfully and quickly promised.
Back home, Levi took out the scroll that Huffman gave him, feeling happy.
This is truly an unexpected surprise.
This three-ring spell scroll is so precious that if it were in the Tower of Merit, it would cost tens of thousands of merit points.
The most important thing is that spell scrolls are always in short supply at the merit store and are exchanged as soon as they are put on the shelves.
After all, this is a transcendent combat weapon that any wizard can use. There are no side effects. For some wealthy low-level wizards who often need to perform dangerous tasks, this is undoubtedly a life-saving magic weapon.
Levi had to admit.
This Huffman is too generous today and is not a qualified capitalist!
It could be seen that Huffman was also panicked.
He was also worried that Levi would really be killed by Rex.
The problem is, he clearly knows that Rex is playing dirty tricks, but Huffman has no way to counter it.
Now he can only barely protect himself, and he is still far away from confronting Rex and the Thunder Dragon family behind him.
Even if they file a complaint, without evidence, who will believe him and Levi?
It's even possible that the superior who was supposed to defend you was also a Rex employee.
If you file a complaint, you are directly asking for death.
This is the naked reality.
Levi was very satisfied that Huffman could do this.
Such a boss is a qualified boss!
The spell scroll that Huffman gave Levi was an attack spell.
Three-ring spell: Finger of Ice!
It can condense a terrifying ice attack. Under the finger of ice, a second-level wizard will basically escape death. A third-level wizard may also be seriously injured if he is not prepared.
This is the most powerful spell mastered by Huffman, a three-ring wizard.
With this three-ring spell scroll, Levi's inner uneasiness was relieved a bit.
However, this is not enough.
He now doesn't know when the enemy will attack him.
He wants to improve his strength as much as possible before that.
"First, master the second-ring defensive force field; second, raise the Golden Snake to the thirteenth level as soon as possible; third, raise the Black Demon Blade to the sixth level."
These three are the ways that Li Wei thought of to improve his strength the fastest.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the defensive force field. With one more layer of defense, Levi can be extra safe. The stacked armor style will never go wrong.
As for the Golden Snake and the Black Demon Blade, they are not far away from advancement.
Both of these are skills that can greatly improve one's strength, and may even make one strong enough to fight against three-ring wizards.
The next day, it was early in the morning.
Levi got up and hurried to the Tower of Merit, where he spent 8,000 merit points to exchange for a top-notch second-ring defense spell.
Second-level spell·Earth Spirit Shield.
This is a spell from the Earth School. Its defense power is excellent and it has an A-level defense level.
Plus Levi's Earth and Fire Dominator.
When Li Xiu Xiu reaches his limit, his actual defense level should be A+ level, or even S level.
Once it reaches the S-level standard, it means that this second-level spell is almost as good as a third-level defensive spell.
After getting the spell, Levi began to build a spell defense model, and then practiced step by step.
Time passes day by day.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
Levi discovered that the neighbor who was hostile to him not only did not take action against him.
When he occasionally passed by, he even greeted himself in a friendly way. If it weren't for his spider sense, Levi might have really thought he was a good neighbor.
Li Wei simply took advantage of the situation and delayed it for a while.
He pretended not to know anything and socialized with this friendly neighbor.
Secretly, there are crazy liver-exploding spells and breathing techniques.
He also learned through chatting that this neighbor's name was Will, a three-ring wizard.
Of course, this must be the other party's pseudonym, and Levi doesn't know who his actual identity is.
Unless he has good hands and eyes, his true identity can be locked through his membership card number.
Just today, Levi's spell model has been completed, and he successfully mastered his fourth second-level spell.
And solidified it into his own second-ring defensive force field. This way, Levi's defense would have an extra layer of protection.
The shield of earth spirit, the scales of golden snake, the body of adamantite, and the body of ashes, these constitute Li Wei's layered defense system.
In addition, Levi's Jade Dragon Breathing Technique has also reached the eleventh level limit.
As he expected, the extraordinary organs born after the eleventh level of the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique are related to poison.
In Levi's body, a new sac grew in place of the blood sac.
Inside this bag is a pool of dark green poison.
These highly toxic ingredients are mainly composed of the Holy Armored Scorpion and the Red-faced Sea Ghost Spider, supplemented by the venom of other poisons, and finally converge and react to become a venom unique to Levi.
He bought a live sea monster and tried it. A sea monster couldn't withstand his venom at all.
Within a few minutes, he will be poisoned and die. Presumably even if the second ring exists, he is not completely immune and will definitely be affected.
And if the wizard does not master antidote spells and potions, or does not have a strong enough physique, he will most likely be poisoned.
"It's still not enough. I have to collect more poisons and train myself into the ultimate poison." Levi's heart was cold.
His Blood Touch has now become an organ for Levi to inject venom. He can rely on the long-distance attack of the Blood Touch to inject venom into the enemy just like a poisonous snake.
Levi struck while the iron was hot and broke the limits of the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique. He wanted to practice both the Emerald Dragon Breathing Technique and the Blood Beast Breathing Technique to the same level at the same time, mutating and merging them.
Now, it's just a matter of time.
While Li Xiu was walking, the Knight with a Thousand Faces on the other side was unhurried.
He didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, which made Rex over there very dissatisfied, and he called the Thousand Faces Knight over.
"Why don't you do it yet?" Rex asked.
"Now is not the best time. I am currently getting along with Levi. Once the relationship is about the same and I gain Levi's trust, I will lead him to a suitable place and kill him." The Thousand Faces Knight said.
"You better be serious!" Rex said.
"Are you questioning my professional ability? In order to assassinate a fourth-ring wizard of a high-level wizard organization, I worked as his assistant for fifteen years. In the end, I designed to trick him into an ancient ruins and use the magic of the ancient ruins. Form a trap and assassinate him effortlessly." The Thousand Faces Knight sneered.
His true strength is actually at the level of a third-ring ordinary wizard, but he used his patience and wisdom to kill a fourth-ring wizard. This is not something that just any killer can do.
Looking at the entire Endless Sea, the four-ring wizards are all powerful men who dominate one area.
"You..." Rex was speechless, and it was hard to get angry. After all, now he could only place his hope on this Thousand Faces.
This killer is so free that he was able to stay undercover for fifteen years.
For the Knight of a Thousand Faces, he lacks everything but time.
So in his opinion, it is normal to spend several years undercover and kill enemies.
No matter how genius this Li Wei is, it is impossible for him to become a three-ring wizard within ten years, right?
Since he can't, the Thousand-Faced Knight can slowly find a way to lure him outside the city and kill him within these ten years.
As for the ways to trick Li Wei out of the city, the Knight with a Thousand Faces has too many.
Natural treasures, ancient ruins, secret exploration...
These are temptations that wizards can hardly resist!
How could Levi not be moved?
In the end, Rex had no choice but to let Thousand Faces go back.
He always felt in his heart that if things continued like this, something would happen, and something would change later.
He finally decided to spend some money to have his family send a "Wizard of Death" over.
The so-called death warriors are those who have been trained by the wizard organization using secret methods since childhood. They are willing to die for the wizard organization without hesitation. Such people are absolutely loyal and reliable and will not betray their family.
Of course, the cost of cultivating a dead soldier is high.
Therefore, Rex didn't know whether he could transfer dead soldiers from there with his already worrying status in the family.
All I can say is, let’s give it a try.
As long as he continues to maintain his position as the number one supervisor, these costs can be earned back in the future.
The most important thing is that if he wants to be promoted to deputy tower master in the future, he cannot do without the support of these achievements.
The military only values performance.
After returning home, the Knight of a Thousand Faces continued his plan to get involved with Levi.
He felt that his relationship with Levi was getting better and better, and Levi was becoming less and less wary of him. He would even open the window every day and take the initiative to greet the Thousand Faces Knight good morning.
This shows that Li Wei has him in his heart! Levi has considered himself his good neighbor.
The Knight of a Thousand Faces also took the opportunity to get close to Levi and decided to take the initiative to ask Levi out of the city.
He had already thought of the reason, and said that he had found an injured level three demon [Horned Demon] in the wild.
If Levi cooperates with him in hunting, they can sell the devil's precious [One Horn] and split the money equally.
…
Levi's Mansion.
The Thousand-Faced Knight knocked on the door outside, and then shouted: "Your Excellency Levi, I have something to discuss with you."
"Sir Will, what's the matter? Come in and talk." Levi smiled.
He wasn't too panicked, since his home was so close to the Apothecary's Tower.
If the opponent suddenly attacks, with his ability, he can definitely cope with it for a period of time, long enough to alert the strong men of the Apothecary Tower.
The news of their battle will definitely not be hidden from the strong men in this city. When the time comes, someone will naturally take care of it.
At home, Levi brought tea to Will. Will drank it and then said: "Sir Levi, I won't give in to you. Have you ever heard of the Horned Devil?"
Levi's expression changed: "Oh, I've heard that I'm a pharmacist. The powder made from the horned devil's horn can be used to make potions."
The Thousand-Faced Knight nodded: "Indeed, the horned devil's horn is very precious. To tell you the truth, I recently found an injured third-level horned devil when I was performing a hunting mission in the wild..."
"It's actually level three?" Levi was shocked.
"That's right, the horn of the third-level horned devil is worth at least 20,000 taishui. If it is refined into a potion, the value can be doubled several times!" Seeing that Li Wei seemed to be moved, the Thousand-Faced Knight knew in his heart that the timing was right. , may be coming soon.
Unexpectedly, after being undercover for less than half a year, Li Wei would be captured by himself.
"It is difficult for me to deal with the cunning Horned Demon with my own strength. If you can give me a helping hand, after that, we will share the Horned Demon's loot equally. I can also see that your true strength is not Weak." The Thousand Faces Knight said with a sincere expression.
Li Weitian looked like he was fighting, and then he smiled bitterly and sighed: "I really can't get away recently. The potion tasks during this period are too heavy. It's a pity that I can't go with you."
Hearing this, the Thousand Faced Knight's expression did not change, but he said regretfully: "In that case, you should go about your business first. I will follow the horned demon first. If you are free, you can find me later. How about that?" ?”
Levi nodded: "That's great, thank you very much. I really need money now."
"In that case, don't bother me anymore. Just go about your business and come sit over with me when you have time." The Thousand-Faced Knight said.
"Slow down, I won't send you off." Levi said.
When Wizard Will left, Levi closed the door, and his expression gradually turned cold.
"You want to lure me out and then harm me? He can't think of such an old-fashioned trick. I'll just use it and delay it for a while. When I'm strong enough, I'll play with you and catch the mastermind behind the scenes." Li Wei already had a plan in mind.
With his current strength, he should not be a match for Will. After he develops for a year or two and both the Golden Snake and the Black Demon Blade break through, there will basically be no problem.
However, considering that there may be stronger enemies ambushing outside the city, Li Wei felt that he could only stay a while longer and increase his strength to the limit as much as possible before making any plans.
…
Shenghui calendar year 1044, the winter month.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
Will still kept in touch with Levi, saying something like, "I rely on friends when I go out, and I like to make friends with people like Levi."
Levi naturally cooperated with Will in acting, and then secretly went crazy.
Finally, Levi's Black Demon Blade took the lead in reaching the sixth level.
Levi————
Black Demon Blade: Level 6 (1/40000)
…
"It's okay. Is it possible that this black magic blade can last indefinitely? Endlessly?" Li Wei's heart was full of doubts.
This is just a skill acquired in the mortal world.
At first, Levi didn't pay much attention.
Looking at it now, this skill is not simple.
Behind Levi, a behemoth, nearly nine meters tall, wearing golden scales and a bloody ribbon wrapped around his back, was sitting cross-legged in the wizard tower.
Even while sitting, this guy's head reached the ceiling of Levi's wizard tower.
If it weren't for the magic circle that isolates the breath, the appearance of such a terrifying evil spirit would probably attract a lot of attention immediately.
After the sixth level of the Black Demon Blade, first of all, the Nine Swords Asura Evil Spirit has become larger, a full nine meters, which means that Levi's physical fitness and strength have been enhanced in all aspects.
This gave Levi the urge to compete with the three-ring masters. The sense of expansion brought about by this increase in power was indeed intoxicating.
In addition, the colors on Nine Swords Asura are richer.
The golden scales were obviously the external expression of the power of the golden snake, while the bloody ribbon was the expression of the power of the blood beast.
In addition, the red flames burning around the golden scales are a manifestation of the power of the red lotus.
Any breathing method that advances to the twelfth level, and the power of blood born from it, can be manifested in Nine Swords Asura, showing different characteristics.
Moreover, with a thought from Li Wei, the nine red flame swords came out of Asura's hand, kept spinning around the inside of the wizard tower, and finally flew back to Asura's hand.
Levi was excited.
Is this the legendary swordsmanship?
"This Nine Swords Asura is incompatible with the painting style of this wizarding world."
Levi sighed in his heart.
It looks like Asura is running wildly in the direction of Xianxia.
Li Wei had a feeling that with his current mental strength, these nine swords could fly a few miles at most, and if they went any further, they might not be able to come back.
No matter what, this can be regarded as the first step on the road to "controlling a sword".
